Farmstead Ferments and Free Bird Farm is seeking collaborators to help us with the biodynamic aspect of our farm in exchange for housing and land, in addition to helping us grow our farm-to-fermentation business in general. There are many options and opportunities for co-creating, so if this interests you, please just contact us at dawn@farmsteadferments.com and we can discuss the possibilities. Though, here is a bit more info:

Farmstead Ferments creates artisan, fermented foods inspired from the seasonal harvests and wild forages on our farm, as well as from abundance from local growers. The farm, the kitchen and the Farmstead Mercantile (where we make and sell our food) are located in Scottsville, VA, a small river town located 20 miles south of Charlottesville.

We are looking for enthusiastic, kind, articulate, dependable, creative, organized, self-motivated and resourceful people to join our team and help us keep up with our growing business, as well as build community with our customers and kindred spirits.

We have upcoming opportunities in the following realms:

Kitchen & Fermentation Artistry -- planning and creating healthy lunch specials featuring local ingredients and our fermented foods; making fermented foods (krauts, kimchi, pickles, water kefir sodas)
Production & Operations – quality control, packaging and labeling of our foods, and getting it where it needs to go
Farm & Garden -- live on the farm in exchange for your help with growing produce and caring for the poultry flock
Farmers Markets & Events – represent the company at events and demos
